Danah Boyd writes about the medical use of Marijuana. While dealing in drugs is illegal in Switzerland, the simple possession of soft drugs like Marijuana and Hashish are 1. not punished harshly (a small fine, for example), and 2. not a priority of the police in most urban areas. The net result is that I knew a pretty large group of people my age in high school that smoked pot. I didn’t, and I didn’t like how almost all of them seemed so laid back that they seemed to be almost listless – dead boring. But the US’ WarOnDrugs is crazy in comparison. A few listless youngsters are definitely preferable to one of the largest PrisonPopulations on Earth!
